My son is moving out. I'm happy for him but I'm bereft. How can I stop feeling so terrible? | Leading questions

It's OK to not feel OK about something you know is good and right. This is a huge loss. One of the biggest chapters of your life is closing. Knowing that he deserves to feel free and happy about this does not mean you have to; his experience doesn't have to be your experience. You don't live life through his eyes, you live it as his parent.
